Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9215030A1] A fiber-optic connector (10) for a cable (12) with an optical fiber. The connector includes a first backpost (22) having an exteriorly threaded forward portion (24), a rearward portion (26) attachable to the cable, and a central passageway extending therethrough. The connector (10) has a body with a forward portion (24), an interiorly threaded rearward portion (26), and a central passageway extending therethrough. The body threads have a pitch diameter and pitch thread which mate with the threads of the first backpost (22). A second backpost (62) is positioned within the body central passageway (52), and has forward and rearward portions (64, 66) which hold a ferrule (70) in position. A shoulder (158) of the body projects radially inward sufficient to limit forward movement of the second backpost. A spring (76) biases the second backpost in the forward direction. A coupling nut (96) is positioned around the body and has a threaded forward end portion for threaded engagement with an adaptor (108).
